In the remote jungles of Guyana, more and more anglers are chasing the native river monsters, the arapaima. In this short video, angler Vance Freed hooks and lands a pretty good one, and you can see how difficult these fish are to land and hold. When you finally get a look at the fish, as it comes out of the water right at the bow, it’s hard tot to gasp.

Wow…putting this on my bucket list. Well done!
